The Medallion

Chapter 78 An Astonishing Decision (Part One)

Meanwhile, in his coma, Rocky witnessed several shocking images in his dreams. He lay on a boundless land that was covered by corpses. The blood had merged into streams. Among the dead bodies were both humans and spirit-manipulated beasts. It seemed that Rocky walked into a battlefield.

An afterglow brought by dusk was shining over the bloody battlefield. It seemed as if doomsday had come. Instantly, the land was shrouded in a giant dark shadow. Rocky looked up at the sky and saw an enormous black dragon whose big eyes were twinkling with evil light. With six strong wings, the dragon emanated the momentum of the king of heaven and earth. However, its dark and evil power could also make people tremble in fear.

"If you yield to me, I shall lend you my power..." All of a sudden, the black dragon almost deafened Rocky's ears with its loud roar.

The next moment, Rocky saw the black dragon come at him with its mouth wide open. Everything happened so fast. It was about to devour him.

Rocky opened his eyes abruptly and sat up on the bed as sweat dripped down his forehead. He was trying his best to catch his breath.

"Fortunately, it's just a dream," Rocky sighed out of relief when he realized that the black dragon wasn't real. All of a sudden, he felt something move beside him. As he looked down, he saw a woman's body lying right before his very eyes. Moreover, her sleeping position was really seductive. Her clothes was in such a mess that some of her skin could be seen.

"Lena?" Rocky recognized that the woman lying on his bed was Lena.

Rocky gradually recalled the things that happened before he passed out. He fought off Erica and went into a coma because he was severely wounded. But now, it seemed that his body was doing better and his wounds had been fully healed.

"Did someone heal the injuries for me?" Rocky muttered to himself in speculation as he looked at Lena beside him.

"Did Lena help me? Should I devote myself to her in order to repay the kindness she has shown me?" Lena's sleeping position was so charming that Rocky almost couldn't restrain his impatient hands that were itching to touch her skin.

However, Rocky finally resisted the temptation when he remembered that Lena just lay beside him like this when he came to this world and woke up for the very first time. While at that time, when he was just a useless prince, everything was all so different. Now, he was the new star for the future of the Holy Dragon Empire.

Since Lena slept soundly, Rocky didn't dare to disturb her. He covered her with the quilt and got out of bed. No unusual feeling was sensed by Rocky when he stretched his body and adjusted the circulation of the spiritual power inside him. Thus, he felt at ease that his body was getting better.

Though he had reached the Earthly Stage, in fact, he was just still starting for being a spirit manipulator. The subsequent cultivation would be far more strenuous than that at the Mortal Stage. In order to grow into a mighty spirit manipulator, he still had a long way to go.

Rocky walked out of his bedroom to take a breath of the fresh air. A woman figure then leaped onto his vision, "Master Mia?" Rocky called as he saw her.

Seeing Rocky standing out of his bedroom, Mia stared at him and asked, "Why aren't you resting in your bed? You're still hurt badly..."

"No need to worry. My wounds are healed," Rocky smiled.

"Are you sure?" Mia was stunned but she added, "Well, I think that makes sense. With General Marcia's help, it is only natural for you to recover in such speed."

"You mean the beautiful general?" Rocky was a little surprised.

Mia found that Rocky was confused so she told him everything that happened after he passed out.

"I see. So it was General Marcia that cured my wounds. If you didn't tell me, I assumed it was Lena." Rocky was somewhat astonished. Then he looked at Mia with concern and asked, "How about your wounds?"

"They have almost recovered as well." Mia nodded as she blushed at Rocky's concern for her injuries. She then thought of something and asked Rocky in a puzzled tone, "But how did you make it?"

"What do you mean?" Rocky was confused about Mia's words.

"How did you manage to get the power to defeat Erica? Moreover, I noticed that the nature of the power you used was Thunder..." Mia made detailed inquiries as if she had been dying to ask for a while.

"I'm not sure. I think I just acquired it by accident..." Rocky pretended not to know the reason.

"Do you really think I would buy that? It's alright if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to lie about it." Hearing Rocky's lazy response, Mia was keenly aware of the fact that Rocky was hiding something from her.

Rocky smiled and continuously acted to be ignorant about what Mia was talking about.

"Basil..." At that time, a call came from behind.

Upon hearing that, Rocky looked back and saw Lena standing behind him with her clothes still in a mess. It was quite misleading that as if something had happened between them.

Seeing that, Mia glared at Rocky with murderous intent.

Scorched by Mia's eyes, Rocky immediately turned around to explain to her, "I swear, nothing happened between us!" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Master Mia, what are you doing here?" Embarrassed at the sight of Mia, Lena hurried to tidy her clothes and behave herself.

"His Majesty asked me to check on Basil's situation. He said that once Basil was awake, he should go to the Grand Holy Hall with Her Royal Highness. In addition to that, he also gathered some members of the royal family and some ministers together. I guess he must have something very important to announce..." Mia said.

"I see." Lena nodded. It looked like she had realized the intention of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. Therefore, she instantly ordered a maid to prepare Rocky a suit of ornate robe and dress him up.
